1.0\,\text{kg}

block attached to a horizontal spring of force constant

100\,\text{N\,m}^{-1}

is set into SHM on a smooth table. When the block is

0.040\,\text{m}

from the mean position, its speed is measured to be

0.50\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}

. (i) Determine the amplitude of oscillation. (ii) Calculate its maximum speed during the motion.
